Analu Verbin, PhD, is a Clinical Psychologist, working in a private practice in Tel Aviv, and a former member of the executive board of the Israeli Association of Eating Disorders.

"In this clinically rich volume, Eytan Bachar and Analu Verbin present an understanding of eating disorders that makes excellent use of self psychological theory. It considers the enormous complexity of managing the treatment of these disorders and reflects the findings of research that demonstrates the effectiveness of psychodynamic self psychology to predict the development of and remission from anorexia and bulimia."

Doris Brothers, PhD, co-founder, The Training and Research in Intersubjective Self Psychology Foundation and advisory board and council member, International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology (IAPSP)

"Bachar and Analu make impressive use of classical self-psychology to understand and treat sufferers from anorexia and bulimia, substantially increasing the theoretical and clinical reach of the original form of this theory. The many clinical stories they provide make this perspective accessible for therapeutic use, and invite further reflections on an extremely challenging, and unfortunately not rare, clinical experiences. Their emphasis on experience-near responsiveness is a gift to therapists and to their suffering patients alike."
